Greetings. I've just been stopped cold in my tracks trying to install DBD::Sybase under Strawberry Perl. After much searching around, I found this:
http://froebe.net/blog/2013/02/20/howto-building-perl-module-dbdsybase-1-14-on-windows-32bit-or-64bit-with-activestate-perl-5-16-microsoft-visual-studio-and-sybase-openclient-15-7/ which, if you scroll down to the Comments section, contains this comment: Jason L Froebe says: February 20, 2013 at 8:40 pm If you’re going to use Sybase OpenClient 15.x or higher, you can’t use the mingw compiler as the OpenClient DLLs are not compatible with it. So now, I think I am going to have to abandon Strawberry because Sybase is a non-negotiable. DBD::ODBC is not an option - too much code to port over from DBD::Sybase. Free TDS is not an option either - it's been tried here recently and it had issues. So, as I see it, my options are: 1) Active State 2) Visual Studio :-) Given that I am already compiling Perl on *N*X boxes, I am inclined to go with #2. In this case, I would be downloading the same source distribution as I do for *N*X and off I go. Does anyone have any other practical suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Matthew O.
